9.Full Description of Training Contents (PREPARATION, OBJECTIVES, METHODOLOGY, outcomes, follow-up)
Preparation:
Participants will learn how to combine in a very practical way available mobile internet, gps/galileo (global positioning system) and cartography technologies by learning how to implement and create educatIonal multimedia content (video, audio, flash) and user interfaces adapted to evolving 3g mobile multimedia networks.
The workshop will enable participants to use tools and methods liable to encourage them to building a living educational view in which emerging mobile technologies are considered AS A KEY COMPONENT FOR THE success of the education, Mobile learning and e-learning are two strands of implementation.
Rasing awareness On the importance of the use of thEsE new tools and how to implement THEM in a creative way in the educational field in order to improve students opportunities for further education but based in lessons learned from several “IST ACTION LINES 5th Frame Program” SUCH AS THE SCHOOL OF TOMORROW, EUROPEAN SCHOOL NETWORK AND HERITAGE FOR ALL.
tHE WORKSHOP PRETEND TO REDUCE the DIGITAL DIVIDE BETWEEN CHILDREN AND TEACHERS AND AT THE SAME TIME CAPTURE ParticipantS ATTENTION EXPANDING EDUCATION BEYOND the CLASSROOM WITH THE USE OF mOBILE DEVICES THROUGH MULTIPLE NETWORKS SUCH as iNTERNET, gprs, umts AND wi-fi. IT IS A WORKSHOP BASED IN learning BY DOING.
sEAMLESS INTEGRATION BETWEEN KNOWLEDGE AND WEB AND MOBILE PLATFORMS are PROVIDE
IN the WORKSHOP.
MULTILINGUALITY IS GUARANTEED SINCE the PLaTFORMS WORK IN ANY LANGUAGE AND THE WORKSHOP IS BASED IN the CREATION OF MULTIMEDIA CONTENT IN THE PARTICPANT’s LANGUAGE.
Target groups: INCLUDES pre-service and in-service teachers, researchers in the field of ict, AND DEVELOPERS of education.
the main core of the workshop is how to implement mobile education platforms and create multimedia content at the schools and beyond extending education to almost any environment by the use of mobile devices such as 2.5 and 3G phones, PDA, Pockets Pcs, lap tops under multiple networks based on CHIMeR network experience.
pARTICPANTS WILL APLLY THE PRINCIPLE OF “lEARN TO use” (THEY GET KNOWLEDGE ABOUT HOW TO USE THE PLATAFORMS) AND “USE TO LEARN” (ONCE THEY KNOW HOW TO USE IT THEY WILL USE IT FOR EDUCATIONAL CONTENT CREATION).
The platforms have been widely tested in Holland, Germany, finland, lithuania, spain, czech republic and slovenia.
The project brought together different institutions (schools, Libraries and Museums) and more than 250 children and 50 teachers from 6 different countries have been involved on THE IMPLEMENTATION of these platforms.
The resuls can be seen at . The experiences and examples of the best practices concerning the implementation of these new learning environments have been widely documented through 3 books showing a real european dimension creating a multilingual support for new implementations.
OBJECTIVES:
1. EXPANDING AN EXISTING OPEN INTERNATIONAL NETWORK OF SCHOOLS, CHILDREN AND PUBLIC INSTITUTIONS CREATING and using mobile technologies in education.
2. iNTRODUCING MOBILE LEARNING BY IMPLEMENTING AND INNOVATIVE PAPERLESS DIRECT “TOUCH AND LEARN” COGNITIVE LEARNING METHOD BASED ON A COMBINATION OF THE USE OF MOBILE TECHNOLOGIES AND CONTENT MANAGEMENT.
3 .iNVOLVING particiPants/EDUCATORS IN DEVELOPING the new GENERATION OF PLATFORMS AND APPLICATIONS.
4. cOMBINING AVAILABLE INTERNET, GPS AND MAP TECHNOLOGIES IN ORDER TO DEVELOP INTERFACING AND USER ACCESS TOOLS ADAPTED TO EVOLVING 3G NETWORKED MULTIMEDIA TECHNOLOGY.
mETHODOLOGY:
1. The Cognitive mobile learning method will stimulate participants involving them into the conceptualism and representation of digital education in order to exploit the potential of these new resources for understanding new forms of highly interactive or creative use and experience.
2 .The cognitive method enhances participants’ it skills and give them enormous opportunities to get far ahead.
3 .The Methodology is a step by step process where a mobile platform is a mobile cooperative environment for mobile learning.
4. obiquitus computing in m-learning related to ambient technologies also applies to this workshop since wifi technlogies are going to be demonstrated.
5. Mobile data acquisition is the main stream of this workshop for blending learning, participants work in real scenarios where integrated repositories interact with mobile awarness.
6. Mobile lessons concepts and applications for “in the field” are geo-referenced lessons.
7. A complete Didactical Unit will be given to the PARTICIPANTS; this Unit is based in the lessons learned in the previous implementations across europe.
8. This methodology focuses on making participants to overcome possible barriers of working with digital instruments and to consider them modern creative tools being on the same level as pen and paper.
Outcomes: Direct benefits for the participants
  1. Acquiring new mobile ict skills by implementing a practical case during the workshop.
  2. testing, evaluating the accesibility, usability and adaptability of the developed Platforms
  3. Creating LEOs (learning educational objects) for mobile devices based on digital video, audio, photo and flash technologies.
  4. learning how to transfer to potential end beneficiaries this kind of knowledge
  5. Understanding the emerging complexity of digital education through work on enriched conceptual representations and on methods for accessing them.
  6. Publishing on a mobile environment the work (leos) developed during the workshop and make them accessible through mobile phones, pda and pocket pc.
  7. Integrate participants in a wider european network joining chimer network.
  8. Wider dissemination of their local results by publishing them on the website
  9. understanding possible extension to other education information system and define possible models for operation through a combination of existing web technologies and new coming technologies such as grps, umts and wifi.
  10. Improving PARTICIPANTS’ skills in the use of pda, pocket pc, gps and other digital devices THROUGH GPRS, UMTS AND WIFI NETWORKS.
FOLLOW UP:
pEOPLE DO NOT INTERACT WITH INTERFACES; THEY INTERACT WITH FUNCTIONS AND THE INFORMATION BEHIND THE INTERFACE.
tHE CONVERGENCE OF THE TECHNOLOGY PLATFORM, DRIVEN BY DIGITALIZATION, RENDERS DIFFERENT ELECTRONIC DEVICES COMPATIBLE. dIFFERENT INFORMATION NETWORKS BECOME CAPABLE OF CARRYING THE SAME KINDS OF EDUCATIONAL DIGITAL CONTENT.
PARTICIPANTS WILL WORK CLOSE TOGETHER TO ANALYSE IF HYBRID OBJECTS DRAW INTEREST BECAUSE OF THEIR TECHNOLOGICAL SOPHISTACATION ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS ABOUT THEIR APPLICATIONS ON EDUCATION AND THE SERVICES THEY PROVIDE NEED TO BE ADDRESSED FROM A DEEPER AND REALISTIC POINT OIF VIEW, SPECCIALY NOW THAT THE HIGH-TEC HYPE IS OVER.
Starting at the workshop and continuing for another 6 months the working group will find answers to this questions and publish their results on chimer platform.
